  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting.

Classic Carlin - The FCC and the American Double Standard

submitted by Ryjkyj

1 decade 6 years 5 months ago

From: "What the Fuck Am I Doing in New Jersey"

I can't tell you how many moments in this particular clip are burned into my synapses forever.

"The federal communications commission (an appointed body, not elected) decided all on its own that radio and television were the only two parts of american life not protected by the free speech amendment to the constitution."

"Gotta be the only country in the world where some people are starving on the street and other people eat a nourishing meal and puke it up intentionally."

"America was founded by slave owners who wanted to be free"

"And now their thinking about banning toy guns... AND THEIR GONNA KEEP THE FUCKING REAL ONES."

Bless Professor Carlin.

From the horse's mouth, this is as much *religion and *politics as anything.

Adding video to channels (Politics, Religion) - requested by RhesusMonk.

Hard to believe this used to be a marginal voice people thought was schtick. Carlin the prophet: who knew?

*dead
